Cannabidiol (CBD) products made from hemp have gotten more popular in recent years. But how much can you trust what the label says, compared to what really is in CBD patches, creams, and lotions? A team of investigators decided to find out.
CBD topicals are over-the-counter products, so the FDA does not regulate them the same way as prescription medications. But at the same time, the agency does not allow OTC products to make claims about health benefits.
"The good news is that in the last couple years, in the face of this incredible explosion of CBD-heavy or CBD-only products that have hit the market thanks to the Farm Bill, there does seem to be better quality assurance," says Friedman, a professor and chair of dermatology at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences in Washington, DC.
"These are reputable investigators that have published widely in this space, including on this subject. This is a reputable journal. The design is sound, and the limitations are few,” says Jamie Corroon, ND. "The case for topical hemp-derived CBD products is that they are generally safe, accessible, relatively affordable, and lots of people are reporting positive experiences using them," he says.Friedman agreed with Spindle and colleagues that incorrect labeling and claims about health benefits on some CBD products are concerning.
